bChapter /b8

“Take it slow in those high heels. Don’t trip and fall!”

rieka’s heart skipped a beat.

Roschelle actually showed up early.

In rieka’sst life, Kieran went to Birkwell to bring her back.

This time, she turned up at the Argent’s vi so soon.

rieka clenched her fists and stared hard at Roschelle.

She was the one who had caused Nina’s death.

Seeing her smiling brightly, rieka felt a deep, intense hatred. It was so strong that she could hardly breathe. All she could think about was how Nina had died in her arms.

Roschelle had admitted that she set up the car ident that killed Nina.

Nina had been so young and healthy, yet she died at the age of bfive /bbecause of Roschelle, and she didn’t even have a proper grave.

Ironically, Roschelle and her son ended up with everything.

After answering Roschelle, rissa turned around and looked at rieka with a mocking smile.

“Now that Rose is here, why don’t we go meet her together?”

rieka sneered.

Of course, she’d meet Roschelle.

)

She was gonna make that bitch pay the price she deserved!

Standing in the living room, she watched as Kieran pulled Roschelle’s pink suitcase through the door. His eyes quietly followed Roschelle as she rushed toward rissa, the gaze strangely gentle.

Roschelle took the gift bags from Kieran’s hand and handed them to rissa and Wace.

“Rissa, these are the gifts I got for you and Sir Argent. Check them out and see if you like them.”

rissa let out a low scream, her face lit up with a happy smile. “How’d you know I’ve always wanted this ne?”

Roschelle smiled gently and softly patted her head.

Wace took a quick look at the health stuff in the bag. “Make yourself at home. I’ve got things to do. Gotta go.”

Roschelle smiled shyly. “Thank you.”

Then, she stood next to Kieran and linked her arm with his. She looked. over at rieka like she just noticed her and gave a polite but kinda

distant smile.

“Sorry, Ms. Huston, I didn’t get you a gift. You’re not mad, are you?”

rieka looked at her with a poker face, not answering her question. “If that’s all, I’ll head upstairs.”

Before Roschelle could get a word in, Kieran’s face got all serious.

rissa walked up with a sneer, “rieka, what the hell is wrong with you? Rose came over as a guest, and this is how you treat her?”

rieka replied calmly, “I’m happy to have her.”

rissa scoffed, “Who are you trying to kid?”

“Rissa.” Roschelle looked embarrassed as she said softly, “It’s fine. Ms. Huston is one of you. She can go wherever she wants. Come to think of it, I should say sorry.”

She held Kieran’s arm and looked at rieka, seeming a bit shy and

sorry.

“I really missed Kier, so I showed up without calling first. Ms. Huston, you’re not upset, are you?”

rissa sneered, is in this family? She doesn’t

“Who does she think ishe /iget a say here. She should be grateful that Grandpa took her in. No one here, except for him, gives a damn about her.

“Rose, make yourself at home. No need to waste energy on someone who’s eaten up with jealousy.”

Roschelle lowered her eyes, an unreadable smile ying on her lips. She moved closer to Kieran and whispered, “Is it okay to say it like that?”

rissa said arrogantly, “What’s the big deal? She’d better behave herself. Otherwise, I’ll kick her out sooner orter.”

Her eyes burned into rieka. She wanted to see her flinch and crumble.
